According to the television schedule for Tuesday, none of the major broadcast networks - CBS, NBC, ABC - will be showing convention coverage from 10pm on. This only seems to be the case for Tuesday, though, with everything starting right back up on Wednesday night.
Any word on why this is the case?
[update] Matt Sheffield from RatherBiased confirms that CBS would not be covering the convention Tuesday, and adds that this development “is unsurprising since the nets seem to be taking an even bigger ratings hit than ever.”

am thoroughly disgusted with network politics. i am a republican and watched every moment of the democratic convention on tv on one or other of the major networks. the fact that none of the major networks picked up the republican convention and i had a choice of pbs only is a disgrace. am losing complete interest in watching anything on abc, cbs or nbc.
